    With tomorrow’s annular eclipse I figured I’d share my shot of the last solar eclipse over the America (please use eclipse glasses if you’re looking at tomorrow’s eclipse. There’s no totality period where it is safe to look directly at the sun.)

    I had my camera set up to take about 200 photos of totality, but it got cloudy about 15 minutes before totality, and this was the best photo from the bunch. If you look close you can see spme solar prominences at the 12 and 2 o’clock positions. Captured on August 21st 2017.
